Can you believe that Second Life is just about to turn 11
years old?
For those that do not know SL’s actual birthday, it is July 6th
2003.
On that day it will be precisely
132 months and about 3,960 days. In Second Life time that is a virtual
lifetime! Through the year so much has happened and so many changes have been
made. Creative people have come and gone and countless virtual memories have
been made; many of which echo through the community when we are reminded of the
past 11 years and who did what. We each leave are mark in one way or another.
We build friendships that spill into our real lives and many even fall in love.
We are a virtual world community and together we have made Second Life what it
is today. It is a unity that breaks boundaries and crosses borders. This
virtual world is a mixing and mingling of cultures and imaginations unlike any
other. Each day is a surprise waiting to happen as none of us know exactly what
each day will bring or who we will meet. It is an escape from the routine of
real life and the stresses that are included; an ultimate creative freedom of
expression. In Second Life we make our own rules, follow our own paths and meet
each other from the inside out. Our
choices and decisions are what dictate our experiences, how involved we are and
how much of ourselves we want to share with others. We are the essence of what it means to be a virtual
community so this celebration is for you.
Happy Birthday Second Life and cheers to the community
that shaped you!
The SL Enquirer wandered around SL11B and asked some of the guests what brings them
to Second Life. What they do and how has it inspired them in their real life.
Here is what they had to say….
